Oakland Raiders quarterback Jason Campbell(notes) was carted off the field Saturday after taking a blindside hit from San Francisco 49ers linebacker Travis LaBoy(notes). Initial reports indicated Campbell had a stinger, a painful nerve injury.

Campbell was acquired in the offseason to become the Raiders' starter. He was felled midway through the second quarter of the exhibition. He remained down for about five minutes before being helped to his feet.

With trainers' assistance, Campbell was placed on a cart and taken for evaluation.

Thankfully it appears Campbell is fine. Also in that game, Isaac Sopoaga assisted on a tackle. Colt Brennan did not play.
